Zoe Leach

Zoe Leach is a Fife-based illustrator working with fineliner and watercolour. She builds intricate surfaces through stippling, cross-hatching and organic linework, drawing on folklore, botanical forms, animals and celestial symbolism.

Created in the quiet margins of motherhood, her practice is shaped by small windows of time and a deep attentiveness to both the natural world and the inner landscape. Through archetypal symbols, her work explores transformation, resilience and the unseen emotional terrain we carry.

Her drawings are intended as invitations rather than statements, offering gentle spaces for reflection to those who feel a sense of recognition within them. She is currently developing an oracle deck as an extension of this philosophy, creating symbolic works that encourage viewers to pause, look closer and discover their own meanings within the imagery.

Her work is an open door. A quiet hand on the shoulder. An invitation to keep walking.
